93 Princess St, Kingston, ON K7L 1A6, Canada
Enjoy a truly unique burger experience at Harper’s, with quality burgers and sides, including plant-based and gluten-free options, you’re in for a truly one-of-a-kind meal! Pair your burger with a hand-spun milkshake for a classic meal. Sit back and relax in our warm and welcoming dining space, and enjoy your meal on your own, with friends, with the whole family, or take it to go!
Ordered the Health Nut salad to take home. Absolutely delicious. Full of healthy stuff. Not your typical salad. If your looking for something different this is it. The large size would probably feed 4 people as a side. Would highly recommend.
It was New Year's Eve when we went to Harper's and let me tell you, one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life! The atmosphere was fantastic, as you can see Santa's dining with us and he's sitting at the back, lol! He had finished his Christmas duties for the year and was now on break. The burgers at Harper's were so good, we had to come back for seconds after we finished our first! I highly recommend for anyone visiting Kingston, great great spot and very friendly staff!
You can choose your burger from the patty size (6 or 10oz), to the burger flavour, to the buns, and the sides you want to get (regular fries, criss cut fries, coleslaw (tangy or creamy), etc) We got the classic, crunch and smokehouse. Flavour is ok, nothing much different really than other regular burgers. But our server was very friendly and attentive. The place is conveniently located right in the heart of Kingston at Princess St. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any coffee or hot drinks like hot chocolate or tea. They do have beers, cocktails, and pops. Washroom is clean. When we were here, we used our Kpass for a 15% off because our bill was more than $50 for the 3 burger meals.
Walking on the street of Downtown Kingston looking for something to eat. Stumbled across this dainty burger spot with great service and even better burgers. We ordered the “pig in the orchard” - 10/10 (meaty and fresh at the same time) and the “smokehouse”- 8/10. I recommend getting lettuce, pickle, onion, tomato on the side (it’s free!) They also have daily specials. So sangria Wednesday was awesome!
We chose this restaurant because we saw it on the TV show Here Because it doesn’t You Gotta Eat Here. It definitely did not disappoint. The burgers were absolutely delicious. The waffle fries had just the right amount of salt and crisp. The Caesar salad even had real pieces of bacon on it. The dressing was very yummy and creamy.
There was so many good burger combinations on the menu it was hard to choose which one to get! Both my partner and I loved our burgers and both tried each others and loved them. A bit pricey for a burger but it was definitely worth it. The service was very slow, but in their defence it was really busy. The interior was super cool with lots of nice art and a diner feel. The bathrooms were clean, but the industrial sinks in them were strange. Parking was very hard to find, but I can’t fault the restaurant because it was a Friday afternoon and the downtown area was very busy.
Small restaurant very good service. The food was good the only thing is that the burgers were overcooked borderline crunchy. The fries are good and the price is ok not cheap not expensive. I think with a better cooked burgers would taste much better . I would go back to try
Great location has a patio to eat outside. Service was great. Food came out quick. Food itself is alright. Especially for the price. The 10oz burgers come up to $30 and i wasn’t impressed. They have their own twist to the burgers which is nice but the beef was overcooked imo. Their fries were wayyy too salty. Maybe if they dial in these two points it would have been a 10/10 experience
Yummy!
Food didn t hit the spot when I was crazing for a burger - It was insanely greasy. My lettuce wrapped burger had too little lettuce and everything was falling apart (a nightmare to eat), there was a puddle of grease on the table by the time I was finished. The fries were also greasy, not mentioning waffle fries tasted stale though I was able to get a new order of fries through my server. Regardless, I wouldn t recommend this spot to others.
Burger Review: The Best Burger Ever If perfection could be sandwiched between two buns, it would be this burger. From the very first bite, it was clear this wasn t just food it was an experience. It wasn t just a meal; it was a work of art that left me dreaming of my next visit before I d even finished. Deby-you re the cherry atop the shake :) Well done, this is it for us. We will forever be your patrons. If you re searching for the pinnacle of burger greatness, look no further. This is the one.
The worst burger Ive ever had! I would not serve what I had last night to my dog! Yes, it was Uber Eats, so I understand it may not be the same as eating in the restaurant. Food was overcooked and tasteless. The burger patties looked like misshappen pancakes. I dont know if the quality in the restaurant is better, and based on my experience last night, probably will never find out. If you cant vouch for the quality of your food through a third party delivery service, dont offer the service. $100 (incl. tip & taxes) for three (not even mediocre) burgers is ridiculous!!
Ordered thru Uber Eats and was so disappointed. Food was cold, fries & onions rings mushed and stuck together. Meat patties were meh. Not impressed. Certainly not worth $100!!!
We travelled three and a hour hours from Barrie Ontario on Saturday October 26th, 2024 to Kingston. When we are in Kingston we always dine at Harpers for their great food and service! Our server today was Britta, and she went above and beyond to provide us with great service! All the other servers were also great! That is why we want to give a shout-out to Harper s in Kingston Ontario. We would highly recommend for anyone in the area to stop by and try Harper s! Kid-friendliness: Everyone was very welcoming and made the kids in the restaurant feel special and happy!
Server did not bring the drink for the lunch box. The milk shake was excellent. Hamburgers good. Hot dog so so. Deep fried pickles amazing!
The driest, most over cooked burger Ive ever had. Terrible and, for some reason, expensive burger. You will be much better off going to Wendys.. service was good
This was quite the treat! We decided to split a burger between the 2 of us and boy, did not disappoint! The waitress was kind enough to get the burger cut in half and bring a second plate... and then we ate one of the best burgers wed had in a long time! We had The Waiver and waffle fries with the truffle-aioli sauce (yummmm) but the other choices looked amazing as well! I hope to return one day when I come back to Kingston! (Also, awesome choice of movies on the tv! Star Wars and cartoons for the young ladies with us! Loved it!)
We have been visiting this place during the last 6 years , and will continue! It was one of the best burgers I had ever had.
We want to support local but this place is painfully slow with their service. 16 mins and theres been no one too our table, theres about 5 other tables and 6 servers. We watched tables walk in after us and get served.
Whoever is working the grill at this place is a child of God. Best burger I ve ever had - perfection Waitress was also awesome Food
The burgers are fantastic! Don t miss stopping off at Harper s if you re travelling between Ottawa and Toronto.
Harpers was one of the first places that popped up when I searched for top places to eat in Kingston. They definitely lived up to that reputation. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was great - I had a delicious barbque style burger, with a side salad. They had a spicy lemonade, which I highly recommend. The place itself is has a cozy, yet hip atmosphere. Will come back for sure if I am in Kingston!
Very good burger and service, however, the julienne fries were very dry. This is why I am removing a star. Vegetarian options: Beyond Meat Burger very good.
It is quite literally the perfect burger bar, Ive never been to a place with better food, service or atmosphere, if you were to ask me for a place to eat, it would always be Harpers. Kid-friendliness: Theyve got childrens menus and cartoons on the tvs
Amazing burgers, service and beers. You must try the Umami.
Excellent
I loved how creative and delicious their menu was. The atmosphere and service was amazing too.
Great burgers! Their one called The Delicious is the best
Great burgers
Came in with family that are all from the burger restaurant biz and were all impressed! The burgers were great, the atmosphere was charming and our server was impeccable! 100% would recommend!! Anytime Im back for a visit Ill be in!
Burgers were unreal, service was great, highly suggest
Best thing about this restaurant was its service. The atmosphere was subpar. Food was a failure. Burger was alright. It wasnt anything to remember, however what was worth remembering was the fries - over salted is an understatement. So much salt on the fries that I no longer need to go to the Dead Sea to feel the aura of salt. Some like fries on their ketchup, apparently this restaurant likes fries on their salt. Salt. Too much frwaking salt. Again, salt. The Songhai Empire fell because Harpers restaurant used up all the salt in the Sahara Desert and the Gao Merchants have none left to trade with. McDonalds no longer holds the top prize for having oversalted their fries. That salty prize belongs to Harpers. Salt. Some say it aint easy being cheesy, but salty... well now, thats a whole other ballgame. Salt. Lego my Eggo. Ease of the salt. I can go on. You get the point.
The chef let 4 badly overcooked beef patties out of his kitchen! Im sorry for the review but thats unexcusable. Starters where ok.
Hi, I tried the burger sandwich , but both the burger and bacon were burned, overcooked, and dry almost like carbon. I mentioned this to the waitress, but unfortunately, my concerns were not addressed. Food
We visited Kingston for a weekend trip and Harper s was one of the best restaurants we visited! Our server, Kailey (spelling?) was INCREDIBLE, offering great suggestions, super present, and always available if we had questions. She even stayed to chat with us at the end of our meal to offer recommendations of spots to visit while in town! The food was incredible, portion was huge and we had leftovers for a yummy late night snack. The patio was beautiful and comfortable. Their cocktails were a pleasant surprise, delicious and unique! Thank you Kailey for being a lovely host!
Great taste, friendly staff, cozy environment. Highly recommend.
Perfect burger and nice customer service, highly recommended for delicious one.
Incredible good hamburger. Very delicious
My family and I have been visiting Harpers over the last several years whenever we pass through town. I left a review back about six years ago and thought I should update it. Initially I complained a bit about the price, but I should say that it is a good value for what you get. We are always pleased with the quality of the food, the friendly service, and the atmosphere. Its one of our favourite places in Kingston and Im sure well be back again and again. I would recommend Harpers to anyone who loves a good burger, especially from a place that supports local and sustainable farms. On a recent visit I had the classic burger on a pretzel bun and opted for the simple salad instead of their amazing fries. I still stole a few fries from one of my family members and was VERY happy with the salad. It was perfectly crisp and fresh and much better than your average house salad.
Overall great experience.
Great tasting food and very friendly service
They had lots of vegetarian options, including more than one type of veggie burger! The server was very helpful and patient with us, circling back when I was sure of my order and not rushing us out as we were finishing up. He was very attentive with the free drink refills. Would definitely go again! Vegetarian options: More than one type of veggie burger, plus some other options (including a veggie dog I believe)
Great/fast/friendly service, good burgers and fair pricing. Nice location downtown as well.
We stumbled upon Harpers Saturday night with the kids. The hubby ate here before and said they make solid burgers. We were seated promptly. Service was pretty attentive and our waitress was phenomenal and really upbeat and sweet. They were on it with the refills too. I really thought the kids would love their food, but they just picked at it during the dinner. What kid says no to waffle fries and a hot dog? Apparently the hot dog looked to juicy? lol. My french fry loving son, had no issues with his fries but skipped the chicken nuggets. My poor husband had to polish off whatever was not eaten by our kids after he ate his burger and poutine. I had the plantbased burger and I had no complaints. I will say their pickles are really great on the burger and loved their house sauce that came on it as well. Their fries are on the meatier side and I only ate a couple and passed the rest on to the kids, since the burger was pretty filling on its own. They had toy story playing on the tv in the restaurant. Super cute. It was pretty pricey coming to around $100 after everything was paid out. Id probably come back for some apps and small bites in the future when visiting in town.
I would come back for the Caesar s salad and the Kingston dog, in that order. My friend ordered burger and although it lacks some seasoning (maybe more salt and pepper), the pulled pork made up for it. I also enjoyed eating their candied jalapeños, which my friend removed from the burger because she felt like there s just too much of it inside. My other friend also enjoyed her waffle fries, which for me could use a little less frying time. We dined al fresco and space maybe tight for a group of 5, but the server helped moved tables and chairs to accommodate our party. Wait was a bit longer at 25 or so minutes, but we didn t mind since there were several shops around the area. Their toilets were also spacious and clean. :)
The service was fantastic and the food was delicious
Delicious burger and dog, Taylor provided quick and friendly service
Love Harpers Pig in the Orchard Burger and waffle fries!
Still a great burger place after all these years! You can build your own or go with their recommendations
The service made the difference!!!
Amazing food, fresh excellent choices for vegans as well
Top
Great food and very friendly service!
The place was packed because the food was absolutely great. This is a small place, so get there early
I recently discovered that i am unable to eat food with bakers yeast in it so it makes burgers a tricky one for me. Ive had the lettuce wrap at 5 guys and it was good so I figured I would give this place a try because for $25 a burger they must be even better.... what a mistake that was! Its a single leaf of lettuce on top and bottom. Absolutely no way to pick it up. No big deal I thought, just knife and fork it but, they serve it in a steel basket with wax paper on bottom so not as easy as one would expect and then the other thing Ive leqrned since ditching the bun is that you can really tell who makes greasy burgers now that it doesnt soak into the bun and this was Greasy!! I had a sloppy pile of grease and toppings and bits of wax paper and a couple single leafs of soggy lettuce. Oh, and the fries sucked too. Tiny little hard crispy over cooked crumbs of potato ends. So, at the end of the day I understand that my own food intolerance is the biggest issue here and i accept that but for a specialty burger place in downtown, Harpers you really need to learn to accommodate. If 5 Guys can do it you have no excuse when you charge over 20 bucks for a 6oz greasy burger. Given the choice downtown for a burger, I would do A & W over Harpers any day of the week.
Pretty good! Just be careful if youre vegetarian -- Ive been given meat patties instead of the beyond burger I ordered twice, which was heartbreaking at the time. If you stick with the plantation burger it seems safe. Nice tasty option here! Vegetarian options: Plantastic burger is vegetarian and vegan
I used to love Harper s until my partner and I ordered take out. I had a short lunch and we wanted to ensure we got our food in time. We walked in and were asked how many and we said, we ordered take out but, would love to take a seat and potentially order some drinks and potentially something else since there was only 2 other tables in the whole restaurant. The server then told us she d prefer if we didn t .. as a fellow server and someone who has worked in customer service for years this completely shocked me. I understand if the restaurant was busy but.. 2 other tables.. who were already eating their meals. We hadn t even paid for our meal yet so we would ve been happy to tip, and tip well. The experience left a bad taste in my mouth and in my opinion, makes the business seem not accommodating.. especially for the cost. I understand this might ve been a one off but, it truly impacted my opinion and I haven t been back since.
I ordered takeout on Friday and they forgot to give me the drink that came with the lunch box special that I spoke to the lady about on the phone. Ive ordered from here lots and each time they forget something. Last time they forgot to add condiments on the burger. Another time they forgot to add onion rings that was a part of the burger selected. Their patties are also very dry. Used to be good but its gone downhill.
Amazing, attentive service and their Build Your Own burgers are the best Ive had
The sweet potato fries were good, but the umami burger had way too much sauce on it, spilled ingredients all over and the bottom bun was soggy.
My new go-to is the Korean Chicken Sammie. The service was very good, and the offerings were well-presented and tasty. However, the burger in the lunch box special was dry. Make sure to ask for your fries to be extra crispy so they wont be soggy.
We got the Smokehouse and Umami burgers here with a side of Tangy Coleslaw and Waffle Fries. Smokehouse had decent flavour but was on the drier side. Umami tasted really good, but the choice of cheese used felt out of place. Coleslaw was standard, and waffle fries were great.
Tasty burgers, I got the La la land and finished it till the last crumb. I was first skeptical about the way toppings are, but the taste just tops it all. instead of fries I went for the salad and it was a right choice. the smallest patty they offer is 8oz which was more than plenty for me. I was especially pleased that the staff kindly met my request for a cup of hot water instead of the usual arctic iceberg in a glass. the presentation of the food is 5/5 imo highly recommend visiting this place after a boat cruise to make sure you re hungry enough to finish the entire burger. the hospitality and friendliness of the personnel were exceptional!
Im new to Kingston, ON, this place was awesome. From service to food I couldnt ask for a better time. The burger was easily one of the best if not the best 8oz burger Ive had! Cooked to perfection worth every dollar!!
Love that they had the Disney movies for kids entertainment. Great server Food
Not what it used to be. The menu has changed and the burgers were very thin and extremely overcooked. Sending it back wasnt an option today, as we were short on time. The bacon was so burnt and the burger was cooked way too long and was so dry. We were really surprised, its typically been very good. $67 for lunch before a tip is steep, it needs to knock my socks off for that price, and they missed the mark by a long shot today. Debit was also down ( not their fault obviously), but should have been mentioned beforehand. We had intended to use a gift card for part of the bill and couldnt do that. Good thing we had cash on hand. Disappointed today.
For a $20 + burger, it was very disappointing. The meat was thin, dry, and way over cooked. The burger hardly had any toppings on it. It had a little bit of avocado and what looked like soggy onion rings (see picture). The fries were also a disappointment soggy and lukewarm. The only thing that was decent is the milkshake and service. The kitchen needs to rethink their menu and the manner in which they represent and price their food. I would not return nor recommend this place for burgers. Very expensive for dry, underwhelming burger.
My husband and I both enjoyed our burgers and side. The Sangria was very tasty and the service was excellent. Dietary restrictions: Glad they offer gluten free bun.
Visited for dinner - we ordered burgers with waffle fries. The burgers were awesome and the fries were tasty but not greasy at all. Will return
Great service. The food quality was fantastic.
DEVASTATED ABOUT THE LOSS OF THE IRISH NACHOS. Otherwise the food is great and the service amazing, but I m gonna be missing those nachos. Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options
First time visiting and was I ever blown away! Our server was absolutely incredible. She was so sweet and attentive and diligent, the food was delicious and perfect and exceeded our expectations Such a cute patio and perfect spot to bring family who was visiting town I was too excited about the food to take pictures before hand
Harpers is a great place to eat if you want a good burger and milkshake. Its one of many great Kingston food places. If you want something really substantial, The Waiver is an awesome burger. Parking: Not too hard to find parking, youll usually have to pay for street parking or a lot nearby though.
Food came out quickly, was delicious
Nice place, good service. Burgers were fantastic. Shakes yummy. Only meh was the onion rings
Great spot, friendly staff and amazing burgers. Definitely will be back when in the area.
Very good burger restaurant, pleasant and smiling service at the appointment even for a large table 6 adults 4 children. I recommend!!!
Probably the best burger joint in town. When I first sat down and looked at the price I was taken aback a little bit, but after eating the food I can see why. Everything was just so fresh and tasty. The waffle fries were nice and crisp with a nice soft middle and the La La Land burger was just fantastic. I was a little skeptical about avocado and goat cheese on a burger once I started eating I couldn t put it down. If you re in the Kingston area, as if says on the door, You Gotta Eat Here.
Excellent service and varied choice for vegetarians. Thank you
So cute, so yum, great service!
Every time I stop at Kingston on my longer trip, there s always a treat. This time, I followed Google like usual, and I for sure wasn t disappointed! The patty was beautifully cooked, and salad was awesome as well.
I paid 75$ with taxes and tips for 2 Hamburgers and a bottle of Sparkling water, my Pattie was overcooked and burned all around the edge, never going there again.
Server was excellent and burgers were delicious, no complaints. Many other reviews complained about price, not a cheap place to eat but felt the quality was worth it.
Burger just wasn t good, it was dry. Waffle fries were great.
Great burger selection and delicious burgers.
Harper s Burger Bar is the perfect place to take your family and friends. The service is absolutely amazing, with my drinks being refilled as quick as possible and the staff being so incredibly nice and patient. The food was amazing, it s very obvious they put their time and effort into making extremely good quality food. The restaurant atmosphere is amazing, with fun music and television in the background.
Burgers are amazing! Very nice spot! Will definitely go back!!!
Best burger I ve had in a while! The French fries were nice and crispy as well. Our waitress (Kristine, I believe) was super friendly and helpful! Great place.
This place used to be good but now every order arrives burnt
My fiancé said that burger was a 9.4/10 the only downfall being it had an end Delicious! The patties are perfect here. Try the Frenchie Food
Cute little restaurant. Really nice menu and delicious burgers. Staff are friendly and quick. Definitely recommend.
The food was amazing! The selection is wonderful. Way more then I could possibly eat. Love the atmosphere!
A lovely and cozy atmosphere with great food and excellent service!
Went for diner last night, my husband ordered a classic burger and I ordered the delicious both were over cooked and dry. The sides of the meat were black. Used to be great burgers but not anymore. Very disapointing.
Overall was good but burgers where burnt to a crisp
Love that Harpers offers vegan burger options! I got the V Classic with vegan cheese and a side of waffle fries. They have a few other vegan options including tacos which is pretty cool. The burger was pretty good but honestly a pretty standard vegan burger--nothing too special. Its cool to see a restaurant that has vegan cheese and burger sauce, but wish some of the vegan options were a little more creative and diverse.
Very good burger
Love it here and never had a bad experience!
You HAVE to visit this place! Awesome prices and the burgers are insane!
We ordered 2 burgers to go - one cheeseburger with avocado, and one bacon cheeseburger. The restaurant put both bacon and avocado spread on both burgers. My husband cant eat bacon and I would have preferred no avocado spread on mine.
Harper s is such an amazing burger place friendly staff great service great food. My favorite dish from them is the Waiver it s a burger on 2 grilled cheese sandwiches with a side of poutine and it was really good
Everything was delicious
Amazing service, cool and relaxed atmosphere, super tasty food. Im mesmerized by Harpers and want to keep going to have a taste of their whole menu. The variety of flavor profiles is astounding and it was hard to decide which burger I wanted because all of them seemed delicious. They also have clean washrooms which is always a bonus. Its a bit pricey if you choose special dishes but the size and quality of the meal was worth it for me.
Bit expensive but great food and service is 5 star
Went in with my buddy got an amazing burger! Awesome drinks and the fries perfectly seasoned.
Good food but slow
This restaurant exceed my expectations. Excellent food, friendly staff. The waffle fries on the side of the burger is for the win. I Iove love love the fish tacos. The burger is so tasty and juicy. Highly recommended.
Good, varied burgers and the ability to build your own burger. Friendly location and staff
Such a fantastic restaurant. Great atmosphere and lovely staff.
Staff was fantastic. They were short on deep fried pickles during our visit, no big deal, they provided concessions to show understanding which was a super nice touch. Staff were patient, attentive and very helpful when the kids werent sure what they wanted!
Look above the light in the bathroom
Spot to grab a quick bite. Great food and service!
Great time and great food!
Visited this place after taking the 1000 Island tour. The burgers were sooo good! We had the Umami and Crunch. Umami was the absolute best. The brie cheese added such a unique taste to the perfectly grilled burger along with the onions and mushrooms. An absolute must try if you re in the area
The only negative thing about this place is the 2 firepit tables, theyre awful. We asked to be re-seated and othet guests too. Replace them for real tables.
Burger is good but not out of this world! I tried the umami one. Also, waffle fries are not too many! Its a bit overpriced for the size of the burger.
Stopped in for dinner and disappointed with our experience. Hostess and server were great, no issues there. Fries were over done, burger (6 oz and 8 oz) were extremely dry and the salad had more dressing than lettuce. The music was loud and the lighting was yellow. We will not be back.
Great food and service
Oh la la burger is perfect! Goat cheese avocado and meat they all go very well together. Also sweet potato fries
Burgers and sides were great, service was fantastic, over all an amazing experience. The beach paradise drink was really refreshing, definitely worth a try.
Good restaurant, the menu can be complicated at first glance but in fact leaves a certain freedom in its choice of dishes. Top burgers and the poutine is quite consistent (a little sweet brown sauce)
Super good burgers and very friendly service I recommend this restaurant if you are passing through Kingston.
Awesome spot for fantastic burgers, excellent onion rings and veg choices. Just delicious. Vegetarian options: As many as one can imagine
Go for the burger, stay for the fries. Best sweet potato fries Ive ever had. I know every restaurant makes spf but theyre not all good. These ones were perfect. We had a lovely seat on the patio and the service was excellent! Food
Great place amazing milkshakes
Easy to read menu. Good food. Clean. Amazing waffle fries
I dont understand why this place is has 4.5 stars. Service was awful, my wife went 5 mins earlier to ask for a table for 6 while we were paying the parking fees and they refused to let her sit although the resutrant was almost empty. They told her, you can get the table whenever everyone is here. Only after we arriveed they started cleaning the table . Servers were slow and they didnt pay any attention. We finally ordered medium Smokehouse burgers, it took 30 minutes to prepare them and when the arrived all of them were burned and black on one side . I gave 2 stars only for the fries.
Dont miss the Portobello hamburger! Its out of this world! Tasty, and juice. Ive never eaten Portobellos so good. Service is great. Prices are very reasonable.
Very pleasant welcome, impeccable, friendly, fast and professional service. Hamburger at the top, we choose and compose our hamburger, very good beers. Childrens menu at 12 dollars, nuggets for the children, drinks and desserts, nothing to say, they loved it. I recommend you if you go that way Kid-friendliness: Price and quantities very satisfied
For the price, the food quality was below standard. The burger I had was so salty that it was not edible. As well, from the looks of it, the ground beef was boiled prior or during frying. I could only eat a couple of bites before giving up. The service and atmosphere were good. However, based on the food and almost outrageous price for a simple burger and fries, I highly doubt that I will ever return.
A must visit restaurant when in Kingston! Build your own meal with loads of delicious options. Servers are always pleasant and efficient.
Very friendly staff and great advice. We ate excellent burgers. Its a shame were only in Kingston for one night, would have liked to come back.
Exceptional staff, delicious food. Best hamburgers in Canada. Price worth it.
Always more than enough food. The burgers are great, very filling, lots of options or make your own. Pretty sure they use local farmers. Parking: Paid street parking, but I believe its free after 5 or 5:30 pm. Wheelchair accessibility: I do not recall any steps going in. Pretty sure it was a ramp from sidewalk through outside patio to restaurant.
First time/first nite in Kingston. Got in late and went to Harpers based on their reviews and proximity to our hotel. We were blown away. What a great vibe this restaurant/ patio had. The food/ burgers both chicken and beef were fantastic. Great staff, great environment, vibe and customer service. Great into to Kingston food scene and one of the best thereafter of our weekend visit. Kudos to the staff , cooks and waitresses. Great music, decor and lighting. I am 61, Made me feel young again. Will be back when we visit the area again.
Everything about Harper s is a 5/5 the servers, the food, the atmosphere. This place is one of our favourite restaurants in downtown Kingston and we wanted to recognize our service from this past Saturday, July 22. Our food was fantastic, as usual, and our servers were the most attentive we have ever had anywhere. They never allowed our water glasses to go below half full. Thanks again!
EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING AND DELICIOUS!!! I WANT TO GO BACK!!!
Delicious food, great cocktails (had the Gin Grapefruit Colins), awesome atmosphere. Portobello mushroom burger was UNREAL albeit a bit hard to eat as it fell apart (with deliciousness). Gourmet fries are a MUST-TRY! Only wish we could have sat on the patio - will have to try that next time!
Atmosphere was very welcoming food was excellent and well worth the price. Ingredients tasted fresh and well put together. Our server Robin was quick with making sure everything was taken care of from refilling drinks to removing empty plates. Very satisfied with my visit.
The classic burger was so tasty!
Had fantastic service and amazing tasty pulled pork tacos! Thank you to my server who helped me choose my meal!
We stopped by while visiting Kingston, and the food was very disappointing for the price you have to pay just for a simple burger the beef was very dry for 6 oz and 8 oz one of the servers was very rude after she kept checking if we are done on the table. Don t understand why this place has 4.5 star reviews, anyways don t recommend this place and will not go back
Good food and super friendly staff
Amazing food and cocktails but a little expensive
Saw on Uber at the start of this week theres a veggie dog option and got excited. Everyday I would try to order it only for Uber to say that you are not accepting orders at this time. And the couple times Ive called I dont get an answer. If youre just busy thats okay, but maybe you need more staff to keep deliveries open.
Really liked this place and it lived up to the expectations !
the waiters lead us to the table, but have not come back and made us wait for 10 min, we decided to remind them that we are ready to order, they said yes, and another five minute has passed yet no one came, (there were only one other customer at the time, and three waiters chatting when I walked in.). So we left, guess we are not welcomed, not sure what is the problem here, my friend recommend the place, but never coming back again
Stopped in on a family vacation in Kingston. Honestly the service was top notch. The young waitress was sooo very sweet and attentive. She was so kind to my kids, making it a fun experience for everyone. Beyond burger was good, came with great toppings. Husband had a burger with poutine. He said it was delicious and he has stuffed. Would highly recommend going here if you want a burger!
Corn dip is worth the wait and burgers were delicious. Thanks so much!
Very good food and very kind attention to customers
Carter was a great server. She got us a blanket for a cool night. Superb burgers and beers. Food
Best sweet potato fries I ve ever had!! Burgers were delicious, crispy, moist, flavourful and satisfying. Definitely going back.
Forgot to add our review, food was amazing and to die for! I loved going there, the atmosphere is simply great, the burgers were made fresh and you could really taste all the flavors. Definitely my favorite burger place!!!
The food was really good and the service is super friendly. They had a nice selection of local craft beer.
Both the starter and the meal were great. Service was also great! Thank you very much :)
Really great burgers. Fries are also excellent. And the service too

Umami Burger is the best. Waffle Fries on the side and mmmmmmmm. Love this place when I visit Kingston. Food
Excellent good! Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to maneuver Food : 5/5 |
I pay too many dollars
Food is not bad. If you go in for a great burger, thats what youll get, but its not the best youve ever had. Prices are too high for what it is.
Overcooked burgers. I should mention that I had a beyond meat burger. They dont need to cook as long as meat or else they burn on the edges and are incredibly dry. Great waffle fries. Wonderful server.
Delicious burger and salad.
This is an iconic Kingston restaurant and a must try location. The staff are extremely friendly and are very attentive. The food is amazing, with lots of options to choose from. The pretzel bun is unique, but also adds an incredible flavor to the dish. This place is quite busy at times, but I have never needed a reservation at this place!
Awesome place all around! Perfect service from Britta! Highly recommend.
Loved this place. Service is great, everyone was extremely nice. Its quick and burger is good. Nothing to complain.
A pricey local burger joint! Interesting menu
Good vibe food ok
The burger is so good! The best ever !
Awesome place to eat. Chocolate milkshake was one of the best I have ever had!
Delicious, fresh and fast! Amazing flavours and great atmosphere too.
Great Gourmet Burger.
Amazing experience here at Harper s Burger Bar. Food was incredible. Service was top notch and the environment is fantastic. Friend got the waffle burger, and it was amazing. Also a bourbon milkshake. Great as well. Recommend if you re stopping through Kingston! Kristine is awesome!
Delicious burgers and especially good to be able to choose all of them vegetarian and with your bread and side dish of choice.
Good burgers. Service could be better, ie know what beers you offer, I mean booze does make money for you and check in on us at least once during the meal. But it was a good burger.
Simply wow on every scoring that exists - Shay was absolutely amazing - fast professional and always smiling - just can t say enough about the food and service !!
Nice, local restaurant with amazingly friendly staff. Some vegetarian and vegan options. Veggie tacos came with goat cheese despite not being listed on the menu. Waitress was apologetic and brought fresh ones. Just beware or ask for them to be vegan in case :) she gave a complimentary desert that was a vegan and gluten free chocolate cake. It was yummy!
I had the pleasure of dining at Harper s Burger Bar in Kingston on September, and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment me and my family walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and our evening was made truly special, thanks to the exceptional service and delightful atmosphere. Britta, deserves special commendation. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and friendly demeanor made our dining experience memorable. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and ensured that all our needs were met promptly and with a smile. Brittas service went above and beyond, adding a personal touch to our evening.
Tasty.
My family and I received 3 dry, burned ,and overpriced burgers, soggy fries and a less than appetizing poutines. People were nice, but the food was far from desirable. I dont believe that we will return. You cant mess so many things at once.
It was too delicious to stop and take a photo, just go eat a burger there - it is a thing of true beauty.
Very kind and friendly staff! And most of all, very kid friendly, with TV on each corner of the room and Disney+ playing. We enjoyed our burgers, which you can built at your own choices. I found the fries a little bit too salty, but crispy and yummy. The milkshake were great, big and delicious. We really enjoyed our lunch and will be back when our next trip to Kingston. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, coloured pencils, TV with with child movies/cartoons.
Probably the best burger in Kingston. Great selection of different interesting burgers. The service was very good as well. Recommended.
Burger tasted burnt, crunchy with a healhty dose of carcinogens...just look at the evidence. For the price point, this is a far cry and straight up daylight robbery for a burger...shame on them, aint recommending them. Forgave them, forgot them and avoiding them...
Nice little burger restaurant.
Great burgers, solid fries & nice beer. Yum.
You HAVE to check out this burger place. The price isn t the cheapest BUT the food is delicious and the atmosphere is unmatched. Everyone was so friendly and the TV s had on Mighty Ducks, Ratatouille, Princess Bride and Shrek - where else can you enjoy a burger and some of the best movies?! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. With the fun burger menu, all customizable options and waffle fries - you won t be disappointed!
This burger bar has the option to customize your order to your level of hunger. They have some unique burger options, nice atmosphere, and their staff provide excellent service any time we stop in for lunch. This family style burger restaurant has delicious burgers and sides to choose from. The portion sizes are excellent and their ingredients always seem fresh. As a person who eats gluten free they are gluten free supportive and can change an order to address dietary needs with out compromising the quality or flavour. (They do have gluten products and do cook gluten products in their deep fryer just as an fyi) If you are looking for a place to eat at downtown Kingston check this place out!
First time going....we got burgers and fries. Best fries! If I am in town again, I will consider going back. Parking: Its not a big deal for me. The paid parking lot is around the corner, and it was Sunday, so its free.
It was my first time here and I loved it! Emily was my server. Super bubbly, outgoing, and had great suggestions. Thanks for the great time!
Such an amazing place. Loved it!
Very good burger, can tell its homemade not frozen!
Great service but the burgers were so over cooked they were breaking into brunt prices and the gravy was chucky cold like from a can. Not worth the $100 spent there for 2 people.
The staff there are wonderful, definitely amazing. But the food for the price sadly did not impress, I left feeling hungry and disgusted, and got home feeling ill. The KFC chicken was okay but the sauce tasted off The grilled cheese sandwich buns were amazing, toasted perfectly, but the patty and ingredients were sub par. And the final part, the poutine, something hard to make bad, tasted extremely off, like the gravy had sat for days and was burnt. I definitely wish the staff the best, but please give your food a taste, know whats being served, as its not great, especially for the price.
Amazing patties, sauce, everything! Great portions too
First visit to this location today, and the food is really good. Love the burger paddies and best of all, their Kale Caesar Salad. I didnt get the waitresses name but she was really friendly and helpful. Thanks for the great customer service on my first visit. Will see you guys again, soon.
I dont like at all. While road trip we were there and the lady who took our order she was mistakenly gave another order which we didnt give. She said sorry however we used to have hurry and we eat. Hamburger was not amazing and fries terribly oilly. After meal I asked for toothpick she said no we dont have. After Bill which we gave some tip she even didnt mention goodbye or anything. Worst experience we had.
Smoke house with blackened chicken is just the best!!
